His semi -adolescents Tammi (Elisabeth Bellé), Keks (Lale Andrä) and Umbo (Noél Kipp) are alien to each other. But then strange things happen. During a thunderstorm, figures of the ghost train - a dwarf (David Bennent), a giant (Moritz Führmann) and a witch (Anna Schudt) - awaken to life and immediately seem to be fixed on the tammi, which was initially completely overwhelmed. They do not give away from the side and reveal their miraculous, magical skills to the girl.
